    I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.

    Because everyone is already some cute maid IRL?

    Honestly, yes. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, my SSD stops working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again.

    Journalctl suggests the SATA port doesn't support suspend signals. I suspect my mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus) doesn't fully support sleep on Linux. Though I've yet to test if it's also an issue on Windows.

    Have the wifi version of that mobo. No issues with suspend with either ubuntu or Pop-OS. Using an nvme as primary.

    Might honestly be arch.

    I've just given up on all sleep/hibernate stuff on Linux and pretend it doesn't exist and we never invented that and just fully shut down like it's 1995. Half the time it does work, it comes back in a half-ass zombie state anyway with shit broken left and right, needing a full reboot.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Sleep isn't even that useful these days anyways. If you have your OS installed on an SSD or an M.2, you'll start up in about 10 - 15 seconds from fully powered off anyways.

    I used to agree with you, then I had to run to a meeting with a non closed laptop. Since my hinge was weak I was holding it like an open book, as to keep it open without closing anything important by touching the screen. The whole office stared at me like I am an alien.

    (I know you can change the behavior, but back then I had it on default, which would hibernate on lid closure and never wake up, so I just made a habbit of shutting it down before closing the lid)

    The fact that I look bad in lace is why I use Debian btw

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (7 children)

    I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that's grounded... but maybe that's just me. /pretentious_sniff

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

    Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.

    1. Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.

    2. Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they're given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it's the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they're competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.

    Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I'd wager most of them don't even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.

    Grounding moves the magic smoke from one component to another, preferably, to one you don't own.

    Trust me, there is no need for that nowadays, most components have serious anti-static protection in them.

    I just quickly touch the earth pin in the nearest outlet. I don't think it does anything, but it can't hurt either.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Just touch the PSU. It's grounded and then you are as well then Touch it regularly and static never builds up.

    I live in a super dry place with static sparking on the sheets when I move, so these are actual words of wisdom.

    You know, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You're telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I know it’s anecdotal but I have never seen a single IT service guy I’d fancy seeing in a maid outfit.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

    The case is bloat, a real Arch user wouldn't need it

    I laughed about the meme.

    But It's the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

    I noticed they completely removed the power supply. I wonder if that's them being overprotective or undercautious?

    Come now, my hardware is newer than that

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    I don't fix my PC, I just throw it away amd buy a new one.

    Much faster than fixing a broken arch install.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Missing the grounding strap that goes around your wrist to prevent static electricity damage.

    This is obviously false. The hardware Is fine, I fucked up the config.

    I unironically do have a bootstick at hand for this case though.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Guess I’ll be feeling it soon

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It's really not that bad. Just don't go off script unless you know what you're doing. Same as every OS.
